Title: Re: blue motor electronic dissy into grey motor Post by: mcl1959 on April 23, 2015, 09:16:11 AM The Vic club has sold dozens of grey electronic conversion kits to our members over the years. We imported the kits from the U.S. I believe. It was such a neat conversion that it could not be detected even on a stock engine.
We haven't had them in stock though now for quite a few years. I think they were Pertronic brand? Ken Title: Re: blue motor electronic dissy into grey motor Post by: Not Happy Jan on April 23, 2015, 12:03:31 PM I bought a couple from Maco a few years back.I'm sure he still is selling them.

Jim Title: Re: blue motor electronic dissy into grey motor Post by: DJ on April 24, 2015, 11:31:18 AM I'm curious John.
What are these units you have? Dave. Title: Re: blue motor electronic dissy into grey motor Post by: Trevor_B on April 24, 2015, 03:02:30 PM Hi guys, If you want more background on the Pertronics install and other related discussions then check out this thread (and some of the other links within that thread). http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php?topic=14835.0 ($2) To see the install check out this link http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/maintenance/ignitionpert/ignitionpert.htm ($2) - yep, it is on a Mercedes but they use the same dissy. Couple of things, there is also another manufacturer that sells a similar unit (I think it is by Bosch) that is basically the same. Also, the units really just replace the points/condenser. It does not significantly improve performance. Some people have reported a small increase in power and most agree that their car starts better. Best thing for me is not having to worry about points :) Trevor_B Title: Re: blue motor electronic dissy into grey motor Post by: Harv on April 24, 2015, 04:52:47 PM I took a good look at the technical side of the Petronix units over on the "other forum":
http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=20727 (it was supposed to be a magneto thread, but I got distracted ::)). Agree that most people will see little improvement in performance, though easier starts and less maintenance. Cheers, Harv (easily distracted appreciator of fine ignition products). Title: Re: blue motor electronic dissy into grey motor Post by: hsv-001 on April 25, 2015, 12:39:32 PM Ok , can I get some advice .I need advice on changing from petronix with Fireball XR 700 ignition module to new after market commodore electronic dizzy and ignition module .I get the three wires into the module ,red+ yellow - and black to ground but there is three wires returning to the dizzy ,black, white, grey ,where as the commodore dizzy has only a red wire and a black wire . I think the petronix and the fireball were as a set . Anybody? Cheers Haydn
